Great Innovators Start with Customer Struggles (Not Customer Needs)

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/14

Two very important quotes of a must-read article (reading of it takes ~5 minutes):

  • Teams create the most value for customers when they know the difference between customer needs and struggles
  • If we align our mental model to needs, we are missing opportunities to solve the underlying struggles in innovative ways.
